Turks & Caicos report

OK, this is a report, but I don't have the option to list it that way---World Wide??? John/Jer--please change the format of the fishing report drop down box. There are reports in here from more than the U.S. Thank you

Back to the report....

Well, we fished this past Friday, and it was a bit windy. Did not see a marlin, but found the birds working a tuna school---could not get a bite.

Then someone turned on the fan...Started blowing 20+ knots, with gusts to 30+ knots. We had planned to fish Wednesday, but too rough--we cancelled.

The winds layed out this late morning (Thursday), so we left the dock about 2:30, had lines in about 3:15. By 3:30 we had our first fish on. Released a small blue marlin--about 90 lbs. Back to fishing, and in 5 minutes, had our next fish on....but he pulled hook after about 2 minutes. That was our day--found the tunas again on the way in, but they were moving fast--could not stay with them to get a bite.
Might get out Friday for a few hours, in the afternoon--boss has business to tend to in the morning.

Fishing has been slow here over the past week or so---but it was hot before that, when I was not here.
